  • GOP Senator Believes Las Vegas Victims Should’ve Gotten ‘Small’ When the Shooting Began: Report

    For Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the issue isn’t gun control or gun safety, or that average citizens can walk into a gun store and walk out with an automatic weapon and enough rounds to bring down a building.

  • Trump Lands in Puerto Rico and Delivers Drunken-Uncle Speech, Notes That Officials Should Be Proud That More Haven’t Died

    At this point, I kind of just want President Donald Trump to STFU. At first when he was debating Hillary Clinton, he was amusing. Once he got elected, the more he spoke, the more it proved how dangerous this was going to be. Now that he’s been in office for some months, I’m just tiring…

  • My Life Is Dope and I Do Dope Shit: How I Ended Up Battle-Rapping Against Dave Chappelle

    A year ago, when Raheem DeVaughn and I set out to create our new project, Footprints on the Moon, I never imagined the absurd experiences we would have.

    The world is going to hell in a handbasket, and if a Republican bill making it easier to buy silencers in the wake of America’s deadliest shooting passes, it will just get there faster.
